Annual General
Meeting Wrap-Up
Special thanks to Olena Nolte and family for
delivering our newsletters this year and welcome to
the Desjardins family covering the west route!
Thank you to those members and guests who attended
our AGM on June 8. The meeting rolled along with all of
our usual business being approved and various reports
being delivered. The event always has a strong social
component as well, so be sure not to miss it in 2017!
The grand opening of the Osten & Victor Alberta Tennis Centre in Acadia was held on June 18th in conjunction with Neighbour Day. This beautiful new
facility and renovated outdoor courts are definitely
worth checking out!
The meeting also saw the sharing of some great moments of the past year, committee reports and election
of our Board of Directors. All former board members
were voted back in with unanimous support! We still
have three vacancies on our board, so consider stepping up for the betterment of your community!
We have recently confirmed our public skating and
shinny hockey dates for 2016-2017 season, so mark
your calendars! (we are still hoping to acquire more
dates yet… stay tuned!)
Membership
Update
We are eagerly awaiting the grand reopening of the
renovated Trico Centre pool with a targeted date of
August 15.
Public skating: Sundays on November 6, December
11, January 15, February 19 and March 26.
Shinny hockey: Sunday November 6, Thursday
December 22, Sunday February 19, Sunday March 26.

Shark Club
Deerfoot Meadows
Towering big screens, multiple satellite
feeds and Pay Per View events make Shark
Club sports bar your HQ for cheering hard
–and playing hard.
Shark Club fuses the intensity of a Major
League sports bar with the comfort of your
best friend’s Man Cave. Get loud. High-five
strangers. Paint your belly. We don’t judge.
We’re fans too.
star—or PGA golfer—because starting at
10PM, Shark Club transforms into one of
Calgary’s most popular nightclubs.
This summer, join us as we welcome the
Calgary Stampeders for their official away
game parties all season long. Enjoy Happy
Hour Sunday through Thursday from 3PM
to 7PM or kick off your weekend early with
our Weekend Warm Up every Thursday.
Characterized by quality, driven by passion,
each of Shark Club’s thirteen locations feature innovative menus crafted from carefully selected ingredients.
We take the game seriously — but there’s
more to it than fantastic food and HI-DEF
speakers. At Shark Club, it’s about living in
the moment. Sharing emotions with a room
full of people you just met. Waking up wearing the bottom half of a stolen mascot costume. (Yeah, we heard about that.)
Even pre-season feels like Superbowl Sunday at Shark Club Calgary Deerfoot Meadows. Come watch the Flames, Stampeders,
and Roughnecks on the largest LED TV in
town. Then, get ready to party like a rock

Have a Great Summer!
We would like to extend our appreciation to all the parents, families, and friends who have supported our preschool during the past year, as a cooperative, we could
not have done it without you all! A special thank you
to Mrs. Killam as she has put so much love and dedication into all of the activities for the students for so many
years, and creating all of the relationships with her students that have made a lasting impression for each of
them (so much so we have her student’s children now
attending some of the classes).
Have a wonderful summer!

Hi friends and neighbours,
Enjoy the wonderful days of summer holidays and community events near and far, I hope that you all continue to
stay safe, hydrated, and enjoy the great weather (fingers
crossed)!
TREES NEED PRUNING, REMOVAL, REPAIR? INSECTS
OR DISEASE A PROBLEM? Fall/Winter/Spring (the dormant seasons) are excellent times to have your trees/
shrubs serviced by an established (est. 1995), professional tree service. Our goal is to educate and provide
practical options. Call - The Yardist Ltd. Tree & Spray
Service - 403-242-3332.
As you are reading this, I will likely have welcomed our
new addition to our family. Given that the Legislature will
not be in session until the Fall, I will be primarily based in
Calgary for the summer. I expect to be around the office
and at community events during July and August so if you
see me out and about with the little one, please come and
say hi.
in & around
calgary
My staff and I continue to hear that traffic and speed in
our neighbourhoods continues to be a cause of concern.
We are all concerned about the safety and security of everyone whether they are walking, biking or in a vehicle.
Please ensure that you report traffic concerns to 311 on a
consistent basis so that they can be addressed.
Stampede Taxi Stands
Stampede taxi stands are designated areas near
Stampede Park where taxis will be lined-up to wait for
customers. Two temporary taxi stands will operate at
all hours during Stampede. These stands are located
at the South and North entrances of Stampede Park.
The taxi stand located at the North entrance of Stampede Park will provide priority service to people with
accessibility needs as this entrance provides the most
direct route to enter into the park.
Late Night Temporary Taxi
Stands
Within Stampede Park there are multiple entertainment venues. In 2016 all venues are closing at 3 a.m.
To accommodate the evening rush two additional
late night temporary stands will be established. For
details, visit Calgary.ca and search taxi stands.
The last thing that anyone needs this summer is a ticket so
please remember that government reminders for vehicle
registration and license renewal reminders will no longer
be mailed to you. Albertans with disabilities will continue
to receive their reminders in the mail. Seniors over the age
of 70 will continue to receive mailed reminders until April
1, 2017. Sign up for email reminders by visiting your local
registry agent, or sign up online at one of the following:
•E-registry (Vehicle Registration and Driver’s Licence)
http://reminders.e-registry.ca/
•Alberta Motor Association (Vehicle Registration) https://
ama.ab.ca/registries/vehicle-registration-online/
•MyAlberta (Available April 1, 2016) https://eservices.
alberta.ca/notify
As always, my staff and I are here to help and love to hear
your feedback. If you need assistance accessing government programs, want some support for a community
event or initiative or just want to say “Hi,” you can reach
us by email at Calgary.Acadia@assembly.ab.ca, by phoning 403-640-1363 or visiting #10, 8318 Fairmount Dr SE.
Our office hours may be reduced during the summer to
accommodate staff holidays, but we expect to be open
Tues-Fri 10-4.

Hello Ward 9!
As we get ready to enjoy the summer months and reconnect with friends and family, I wanted to take this
opportunity to give you all a heads up with events that
are happening both in our Ward and in Calgary.
If you have your walking shoes on, during the day, you
can stop by Olympic Plaza and view the market. Just
down the street on Stephen Avenue Walk, view the
usual fare, plus the additional live entertainment and
events that will be taking place.
If you haven’t been to Studio Bell, home of the National
Music Centre, there will be free admission and gifts for
the first 500 visitors who attend.
For more details on those Canada Day events, go to calgary.ca/CanadaDay.
You aren’t limited to these events to enjoy your city and
neighbourhoods. Your community associations do great
work all year. With Stampede season starting soon, it’s a
great time to get better acquainted with them and the
work they do on your behalf.
Please check out their websites and read through their
newsletters for their Stampede breakfasts, the other
events they will be holding over the summer, and the
things they are preparing for in Fall 2016.
